[Verse 1]
DShe just thought they all always saw her
as Gbashful and quiet
But she’s Bmthrough being all the boys’
sweet little kid Asister tonighAsust
So she’s Dpainting it on, lacing it D7up,
                 G
 andcinching it tight
 BmPracticing Aposing and closing her Deyes
[Chorus]
Cadd9Way too smart for her Aown damn good
And she’s  Bmway too miGsunderstood
MisunderDstood,   AMisundeDrstood
[Verse 2]
If it’s the Deffortless, offhand wit
and [the] casual Ggrace they admire
Then she just Bmknows she can shoulder the weight
of setting the Anight on firAsuse
So she’s Dtucking it in, tucking it D7out,
                 G
 andsucking her tummy in tight
 BmPracticing Apouting and rolling her Deyes
[Chorus]
Cadd9Way too smart for her Aown damn good
And she’s  Bmway too miGsunderstood
MisunderDstood,   AMisundeDrstood
[Chorus]
Cadd9Way too smart for her Aown damn good
And she’s  Bmway too miGsunderstood

[Verse 3]
Now her Dthoughts are all clouded and stained
from Mescal and Gleveraged champagne
 BmHer cards R all maxed and her funds R all AdrainedAsus  
So she’s Dstaggering home, drunk and aD7lone
(and) the snow is Gchanging to rain
Just a Bmscared little Ainnocent child in the Drain
[Chorus]
Cadd9Way too smart for her Aown damn good
And she’s  Bmway too miGsunderstood
MisunderDstood,   AMisundeDrstood
[Chorus]
